(The Microcosm): Visionary Music Of Continental Europe, 1970-1986 focuses entirely on music from Europe. Whereas I Am The Center called for a reconsideration of an entire maligned genre, The Microcosm requests nothing more than an open mind to consider this ambient/new age/neuzeit/prog/krautrock/cosmic/holistic movement.

Largely unknown outside of Brazil, Erasmo Carlos is a cherished pop star and household name in his home country, but not for the three albums we are announcing today. Although they didn’t find much success commercially, we think these are some of his most innovative and honest records.

Featuring a compilation of the strongest songs he recorded over a prolific, globe-trotting three-year period, Cowboy In Sweden is quite possibly the purest distillation of the Hazlewood sound. It exemplifies his signature lush and melancholy country pop, with a pinch of humor, a dash of bummer, some beautiful ladies to sing with, and even a couple anti-war protest songs for relevance.
